I would say it would be pretty scary with a cane but doable with a good guide
dog and some one with enough sight to stay in the cross walk. One major
difference between a cane and a dog is the dog can see. I have had Sherman for
6 months now and I seeker to be amazed at his abilities. I was at the ATIA
conference at the Caribe royal resort in Orlando and it not only amazed me how
well Sherman did but he also led two other friends he led us over 46 acres, we
had the Blind train going on. I think now more than ever cane users in
Tallahassee should really think about using a guide dog considering growth and
changes in transportation.

Much like the intersection of Thomasville and Temberlane, where there are no
less than 9 lanes to cross, but many business and shopping opportunities, I
believe this is an excellent intersection for APS. Yes, large and busy
intersections can be a bit overwhelming, can't they? Thank God for APS(s)!

I don't know Darla if others will be happy or not for the audible signal at
this intersection; Allison can't believe Mimi or anyone else is willing to try
it!

Dear Mimi and William,
I am so proud TCB is listed in the Nova 2010 plan as serious contributors
to make the routes and stops accessible.
Good going to William, Sally and others who have been so thorough in
putting forth our suggestions and ideas; thanks to the Lighthouse as well.
I am sure others in your area, Mimi, will be happy for that audible signal,
too.
Darla

Hi there atlas, it would improve living conditions to have a audible
signal to go across Thomasville rd at Kerry
forest parkway to go into Walmart and then make the return trip with
audible signal to cross back over thonmasville going east over to kerryforest
/It would require 4 audible signals.
Also a bus stop needs to be located at each roundabouts in kill earn
estates. Currently I walk two and a half miles to kerry park and Thomasville
to take the bus to target. The return bus could stop on Thomasville at kerry
forest to discharge passengers to an audible signal to cross over,
Need to make some type of transportation on an as-needed basis.
Oh well.

HI William.
Does this group deal with all transportation in Leon county or just the
fixed route system?
In either case first of all we need night service which we haven't had
for about 2 and a half years and there is no transportation to the airport on
weekends. If your inquiry deals with the non sponsored service then I have a
lot to say and recommendations for fixing the problems. At worse we should be
able to have what we had prior to prioritization of non sponsored trips by the
TD board.

Greetings list,
As you all know I am very committed to having as good a
transportation system in Tallahassee as possible. At a recent meeting I was
asked to get input from my fellow disable listers: what would be the
suggestions you might have for an effective transportation system? This is
just one more opportunity to make your voice heard.
What is the Accessible Transportation Coalitions Initiative (ATCI)?
ATCI is a one-year process designed to support systems change
activities to improve accessible transportation options for people with
disabilities
We can have a voice and it has been proven in the past that they do
listen to us.
I invite you to offer your suggestions and I will carry them to the
table.
